GOING: G

Race 11 2100m

Track: GOOD      

Icon Tailor and Antikythira to battle for the leading role. Multiple Grade 3 placegetter ICON TAILOR (7) has been in the money at both starts this time in work, the latest a third over 2100m at this track. Generally runs well third up from a spell so a big run is on the cards. AWESOME RESULT (10) last appeared when successful by 0.8 lengths over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt three-and-a-half months ago, the only time she went to the races last prep. Yutaka Take who has three wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. GRAND BRIDGE (4) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a head, over 2100m at this track. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and two placings from four starts and should be involved in the finish. Grade 3 winner RIOT GRRRL (5) is progressing well this preparation, scoring by 2 lengths last time out over 1870m at Sonoda. Likely to be there at the finish again.
